On the 24th of August ; Sir Hott,e Popham and myself went to head-tauirters to dine with Lord Chatham, and at that time his Lordship did not speak .0 - L . all as if he had doubts about going :at the same time his- Lordship mentioned' that the enemy were increasing in 'force. Sir Home -Popham .spoke egood deal in favour of the beach for landing the army -on, and this was the general conv , -.4sat ion carat passed at that time; however, his ,Lordship - proposed Coming to Bathi on the following day, which u ) as the 25th and -there, -in conversation with me, he Rest' spoke . of re',;ring, mentioning the increased i force of the "enemy, the advinieed,senson (aiid ice had certainly very bairweat andabe.sickly state of the troops _the army was just- then.ne.giirwtig to be sickly, and lle seemedlo hint to me, : that he wished . for some lettta- from e upon the subject. Accbrdingly, on the i,ext dly, I wrote •tb his Lord Ship, and that letter aecompamed .mine- to, the Admiralty, of the 27th of August, and is ' before the Conimittee; in film. letter it-will appch r, , tL at proposed an attack upon Lillo aodlieftieno.ozilt, with a view of open ing a field to further einetprize Ural, Was theohly• conversation or correspondence I had : with his Lord ship upon that subj:-et-; 'think thatletter was dated, the .2 - 6itt - of August. The rest-of S:r Richard Strachan's evidence tend ed to sh ow, that-even should Forty Lilo and -Lief kenshoeik have been taken, which would have enabled our frigates and some of our men of war to'goup the Scheldt, it was the, opinion of the officers tit' the army, that the ulterior objects of the expedition could not - have • been ~-obtained. fie thought that a:landing could not have been elfe&-: ed,at Sanvlieiunril the 16th ,of August, and even then without the heavy artillery and cavalry which could not gi through the S•leugh Passage until. Flushing had surreniierech No - arrangement ior an attack err Antwerp could be-:. made . until -after Lille and Lief icershoeik had been - tak'6n. . have attempted to break the ;boom in the Scheldt,. although the -undertakerg was Very - haiardous,, a - § the booth was reported to bq - so constructed -as if hot broken, to bring the ships imrriedia ely under the bat-. tery of Lieffkenshoeik. He thought Ihe French ships could have been removed above -Antwetp, whete he Would have attempted to follow them - but that as many men both in 'the navy end army would EaVe been Iraqi it would have-been prudent were that found to be the case, to•retire:- -Hid the army after ,advancing towards sArriWerp, been cempellNl . to fall baCk, the troops have been ree-eived. -into the vessels that would have accompanied- them up 'the river, and. be protes.aed by our fleet in their re -treat. It appeared that Government had not beeh informed before the sailing•ot the expedinbit of the real state of Forts Lillo and Lief kenShoeik. If the army had taken Antwerp, the dock-yards might lave been destroyed - without the assistance of, the navy. He conceived that the army could - pot pos sess Antwerp Without' being triasturA of the citadel, which'he thought commanded the duck-yards. The. conclusion 9f the evidence proved the necessity of going into the •Roompot, oh - account,ot the-great liazard the - fleet and transports would have run by anchoring at the mouth of the Scheldt. _THE INQUIRY.

Did 3.0 u not write a letter on-the 27th of August, to the Admiralty ?—Yes, I did. . Was - that letter of a public or a private nature Any letter ilTat. I _wrote tp the Secretary of the Admiralty (and that letter-I believe was published) was. of ' a pi)blic nature. - Did y4:.0 ever express a concern that that letter' was - published ?—When I. wrote the letter; it was with an impression that the country would be very much dissatisfied that more_ was tiot.done, and I thought that it was due taloyse.lf and to the navy, to' state to that .branch .of the Government that I was' • Cinder (the AdMiralty), that we were desifous to go. on,. or that we had taken all the measures necessary to go on, and therelOre I wrote this - letter; 'I cer. tahily when I wrote tfe letter did not think it would' be published, but I %%es wrong in thinking sp ; bad" thought it would - have been published, I should have : been more cautious in wording it,thatit might not coircey a refleCtioti upbn Lord Chatham or the army. When I saw the letter afterwardS in the, pa per, . it struck me very forcibly that it would be the means of, making a breach between the two ser vices, pod then' of course 1 expressed how very, sorry I whs that I had worded the letter in that man ner.;_at the, - same time.tobserved to Lord Chatham, and indeed, to many Officers , of the army,-that I Inight . have put it together in such manner as not to ,be.offertsive, for' in the way. it was worded it ap peared like casting a refreaiOn npon Lord Chatham and. the principal.Oliicers of the army, and 1 am very glad to have this opportunity of explaining my, self, because I' did not "mean to cast any reflection tipon Lord Chatham, or the superior Officers Of:the army, or any of, the_ movements of the army,, foi-I. not a. judge of military matters. At -the same - I could ,not help regrkting, and I do at this nroment.regret most sincekely, that, having been brought up as we were to the point of attack upon the enemy, and haying worked our people. up to the highest 'pitch_ of -enthusiasm, we• should have Lord GARDNER.—His Lordship's cviderke're lated to the iequi , ition for boats to land troops upon Cadsa ad.

I believe every Part of the flotilla was emple)'e'd, and that every exertion was made - by Commodore,Owen with the means he had in his,power to produce 'that effeat ; the wind and the weather were partiplatly unfivoural.le at that 'moment,. and the vessels were othervise emplOyed., Front [he LONDON GAZETTE, Feb,' 20, `lBlO. _ Irar-O,Oce, Feb. 20, 1810. gth Regiment of Light Dragoons, Hospital-Mate john Al'Andrcw to-be Assistant-Surgeon, vice Luby, super seded. ith Ditto, Edward Greaves,..
